Many states have been actively addressing the closely-related issues of sprawl and loss of open space in recent years by working to manage growth and protect remaining open spaces. The mix of issues and levels of activity vary widely from state to state. Federal polices and programs have impacts on these issues, both direct and indirect, and both positive and negative. Federal policies and programs with an impact include transportation, housing, the environment, and agriculture, among others, and others have important but less direct effects, such as the federal tax code. Some federal programs provide positive assistance to states that are trying to address these issues, while others may support incompatible activities. This book identifies and compares the recent state efforts and presents some of the reasons for a resurgent interest in addressing this suite of topics in many states. It also discusses the effectiveness of these efforts where evaluations or analyses could be found.

Many states have been actively addressing the closely-related issues of sprawl and loss of open space in recent years by working to manage growth and protect remaining open spaces. The mix of issues and levels of activity vary widely from state to state. Many Members of Congress are interested in these state efforts because federal polices and programs have impacts on these issues, both direct and indirect, and both positive and negative. Federal policies and programs with an impact include transportation, housing, the environment, and agriculture, among others, and others have important but less direct effects, such as the federal tax code. Some federal programs provide positive assistance to states that are trying to address these issues, while others may support incompatible activities. Congressional deliberations generally have given limited consideration to how decisions on federal policies might affect sprawl and loss of open space although both have become prominent topics in more states and communities in recent years. Some Members of Congress also may be interested in states as incubators of innovative approaches to public policy that might serve as models for future national policies. CRS contracted with the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Policy at the University of Texas at Austin (LBJ School) to survey every state and compile a catalogue of state efforts that have been initiated or amended since 1990. The LBJ School returned this compilation to a contact in each state for a final review for completeness and accuracy before it was submitted to CRS. This report identifies and compares the recent state efforts and presents some of the reasons for a resurgent interest in addressing this suite of topics in many states. It also discusses the effectiveness of these efforts where evaluations or analyses could be found. It draws not only from the LBJ School survey, but also reviews of literature and other sources. Appendix III is a narrative summary of each state, introducing major programs and activities, drawn from the same sources. The LBJ School also prepared a table summary for each of the 354 programs that it identified. Through the survey and related information-gathering activities, the LBJ School students determined that the overall level of interest and activity on managing growth and protecting open space is high, that issues vary widely, and that approaches and resources committed to address these issues vary greatly. The state efforts are responses to problems. They are concentrated in states where sprawl and loss of open space have been most pronounced. How states have responded also reflects how responsibilities are spread among state agencies, how they are divided between state and lower units of government, and resource management and land use planning traditions. Places where there has been less economic or population growth in recent years have found little reason to act, according to this survey. Congressional interest reflects the same geographic pattern, as most of the interested Members represent the East Coast, Great Lakes, and West Coast states. This interest is bipartisan and generally reflects what is occurring in the district or state than broader ideologies. This report will not be updated.

This book emphasizes new ways of designing for a sustainable city and urban environment. From several angles the future of our urbanism is illuminated. From a philosophical point of view, the city is seen as an organism, following complex ecosystemic principles, shining light on indigenous perspectives to become beneficial for sustainable design and core questions are asked whether current architectural practice is really sustainable. Simultaneously concrete practices are presented for cities in transformation, focusing on green infrastructure, smart city principles and health.

As the American Southwest faces its deepest drought in history, this book explores the provocative notion of “water bankruptcy” with a view towards emphasizing the diversity and complexity of water issues in this region. It bridges between the narratives of growth and the strategies or policies adopted to pursue competing agendas and circumvent the inevitable. A window of opportunity provided by this current long-term drought may be used to induce change by dealing with threats that derive from imbalances between growth patterns and available resources, the primary cause of scarcity. A first of its kind, this book was developed through close collaboration of a broad range of natural scientists, social scientists, and resource managers from Europe and United States. It constitutes a collective elaboration of a transdisciplinary approach to unveiling the inner workings of how water was fought for, allocated and used in the American Southwest, with a focus on Arizona. Specifically, it offers an innovative scientific perspective that produces a critical diagnostic evaluation of water management, with a particular view to identifying risks for the Tucson region that is facing continuous urban sprawl and economic growth.

What is the urban–rural interface? Is it a visual phenomenon, a place where country gives way to neighborhoods and shopping areas in a startling way? Is it a simple factor of population density? There is nothing simple about the urban–rural interface—editors David Laband, Graeme Lockaby, and Wayne Zipperer present the broad spectrum of interdisciplinary complexities at play. Organized into three sections on changing ecosystems, changing human dimensions, and the dynamic integration of human and natural systems, this book is a must read for anyone who works in the real world, where natural and human systems are joined. This is the new sustainability science, an emerging discipline that integrates social and economic values with the physical, chemical, and ecological functions of ecosystems. The goal is optimal management, since our human impact is often significant and far-reaching in both space and time.

Managing urban sprawl and protecting open space have become public policy issues of increasing concern during the last decade. Even though land use management is principally a responsibility of local governments acting under authority established by state laws and programs, the U.S. Congress is interested in understanding the ways in which federal actions affect these state and local efforts. This report, prepared for the Congressional Research Service, identifies and characterizes state initiatives directly related to growth management and open space preservation that were enacted, adopted, or undertaken in some other way since 1990. These include laws passed by state legislatures (including significant amendments to existing laws), voter initiatives, programs initiated without explicit enabling legislation, and executive orders. Included in this review of state laws is consideration of the many growth management issues, as defined by the research team, and identification of the approaches employed by state governments to address each issue.
